When I first examined the distant past of Vermont’s representation I was surprised to see they once had as many as 6 house seats.
Slow growth accounted for the dramatic loss of seats starting in the 1820s (it was pretty strong growth from 1790-1810, going from 2 to 6 House seats, but it only had 6 from 1813-1823). It lost its 2nd seat back in 1932. We probably should be grateful that it doesn’t have 6 seats today, since 3 or 4 would probably be Leahy Democrats and 1 or 2 would be a liberal RINO and 1 would be a far-left Burlington Progressive.
